Fall exhibtions

The exhibits highlight the legacies of two Bay Area women artists. And the commissioned project showcases the campus landscape and student voices. Celebrate all exhibitions at an opening reception on February 12.

This spring, the Saint Mary’s College Museum of Art (SMCMoA) presents three exhibitions highlighting the distinctive stories and practices of Bay Area artists from past to present. Hilda Robinson: Retrospective features large-scale oil pastels that compile memory, character, and movement, expressing Black American joy from the 1980s through the early 2020s. Beth Van Hoesen: Felt Through Line traces the refined observations of the San Francisco–based draftswoman and printmaker across her career from the 1950s through the 1980s. Walking The Quiet: A Collaborative Commission by Zach Clark presents SMCMoA’s 2025 student-selected commission. The printed work explores the College’s landscape and sites through the interpretive perspectives of students and community members working alongside a contemporary artist.

The opening reception for the exhibitions will be held at the museum on February 12 from 5 to 7 p.m., with opening remarks at 5:30 p.m. The exhibitions will be on view from February 11 through June 21, 2026.
